That is, at least one of the first collet 5 and the second collet 6 is configured to be capable of floating up and down relative to the corresponding collet mount.

When the clamping driving mechanism 4 drives the first chuck mounting seat 2 and the second chuck mounting seat 3 to approach towards the middle, the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 are clamped to clamp the welding strip.

When the clamping driving mechanism 4 drives the first chuck mounting seat 2 and the second chuck mounting seat 3 to separate to two sides, the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 are opened to release the welding strip.

The welding strip clamping device in the embodiment is suitable for clamping a group of first welding strips and second welding strips on a battery piece, and comprises the following specific processes:

in the initial state, the first chuck 5 and the corresponding second chuck 6 are in an open state.

The position of the mounting bracket 1 is adjusted so that the clamping gap between the first and second clamps 5, 6 is aligned with the first and second weld straps to be lapped.

Finally, the clamping driving mechanism 4 drives the first chuck mounting seat 2 and the second chuck mounting seat 3 to approach towards the middle, so as to drive the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 to clamp, and smooth clamping of the first welding strip and the second welding strip is realized.

Therefore, in the welding strip clamping device in this embodiment, at least one of the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 is connected to the corresponding chuck mounting seat in a vertically floating manner, so that the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 can realize adaptive adjustment of the relative positions in the height direction in the process of descending and clamping the welding strip. In this way, even if there is an assembly or manufacturing error between the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6, accurate matching can be achieved to perform effective clamping of the butt welding strip, and finally, the subsequent lap welding quality is ensured.

As shown in fig. 1-4, in some alternative embodiments, the first collet 5 is floatably connected to the first collet mount 2 via a first float assembly 7 and/or the second collet 6 is floatably connected to the second collet mount 3 via a second float assembly 8. Preferably, the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 are configured to float up and down relative to the corresponding chuck mounting seats, so that the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 can implement position self-adaptive adjustment more flexibly in the process of pressing down the clamping welding strip, thereby ensuring accurate matching.

S3, clamping and overlapping each welding strip in the replacement welding strip group with each corresponding welding strip in the disassembly end welding strip group through a welding strip clamping device, and connecting the overlapped welding strips through a connecting device, wherein the welding strip clamping device is any welding strip clamping device provided by any one of the first embodiment and the second embodiment of the utility model.

Because the welding strip clamping device provided by the embodiment of the utility model has the advantages that the first clamping head and/or the second clamping head can realize the self-adaptive adjustment of the relative positions in the welding strip clamping process, the welding strips in the replacement welding strip group and the corresponding welding strips in the disassembly end welding strip group can be ensured to be smoothly lapped together, and the repair quality is ensured.

As shown in fig. 14, when the welding strip clamping device of the present utility model is used to lap the first welding strip 100 in the replacement welding strip set and the second welding strip 200 in the disassembly welding strip set, the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6 of the welding strip clamping device clamp only the free end of one of the first welding strip 100 and the second welding strip 200, for example, the free end of the first welding strip 100 is clamped in fig. 14, and after clamping, the free end of the second welding strip 200 overlaps the first welding strip 100, so that a part of the overlapping position of the second welding strip 200 and the first welding strip 100 is exposed outside the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6, namely, the to-be-connected area a in fig. 14, so that the external connecting device can directly perform corresponding connection operation on the to-be-connected area a without setting a relief hole for avoiding the connecting device on the first chuck 5 and the second chuck 6.

Alternatively, the clamping operation of the welding strip in step S3 is performed by any one of the welding strip clamping devices of the first embodiment of the present utility model, and since the welding strip clamping device is provided with only one set of the first chuck and the second chuck, it can perform only the clamping lap of the welding strip to be lap-welded one at a time.

Therefore, in step S3, each welding strip in the replacement welding strip set and each corresponding welding strip in the disassembly end welding strip set are clamped and lapped together by the welding strip clamping device, specifically:

and clamping and overlapping each welding strip in the replacement welding strip group with each corresponding welding strip in the disassembly end welding strip group one by one through a welding strip clamping device.

That is, the clamping operation and the connecting operation are alternately performed, and the connecting device immediately performs the connection of the two clamped welding strips to be connected after the welding strip clamping device clamps one welding strip in the replacement welding strip group and one corresponding welding strip in the disassembly welding strip group. Then, the welding strip clamping device releases the two welding strips which are well overlapped, clamping and overlapping are carried out on the other two welding strips, the connecting device immediately carries out connection on the other two welding strips to be connected which are clamped, and the steps are repeated until each welding strip in the replacement welding strip group is connected with each corresponding welding strip in the disassembly end welding strip group.

In this way, even if the solder at the connecting position of the two connected solder strips reaches a molten or semi-molten state due to the temperature rise inside the photovoltaic module in the subsequent use process, the two solder strips cannot be separated from each other due to the fact that the solder strips are simultaneously bonded by the glue stock.

Of course, if the melting point of the solder on the solder strip is higher, the internal temperature rise of the photovoltaic module will not cause the solder at the connection position of the solder strip to melt, and the connection of the lapped solder strip through the connection device in step S3 may also be: the connecting device is a welding device, and the lapped welding strips are welded together through the welding device. Or, when the adhesive is sufficient to achieve stable connection of the two welding strips, the step S3 of connecting the lapped welding strips by the connecting device may also be: the connecting device is a gluing device, and the lapped welding strips are glued together through the gluing device.
